This past Friday night, Jaime and I joined fellow missionaries, local ministers and seminary students in assisting Lagniappe Ministries with their volunteer project at the New Orleans Hornets home game against the New Jersey Nets. It was Gospel Night at the arena which is different than the typical faith and family nights other sport venues promote. The owner of the Hornets is a committed Christian and he has Gospel Night. The game was exciting as our Hornets put on a great show in their win over the Nets. Its great to see really good pro basketball in New Orleans (CP3-MVP). After the game, we went to the American Bible Society's booth for our volunteer assignment. The ABS was sponsoring Gospel Night and had free copies of The Psalms and "Element of Life" magazines to give away. You know how people can't get enough of "free." We handed out boxes and boxes of The Psalms and magazines before the crowds finally thinned out. I was impressed with "Element of Life." Each article was a story about how Jesus had transformed someones life. The magazine appealed to the urban crowd in both design and content with an evangelist message to boot. My prayer is that many will read the articles and take the next step towards a relationship with Jesus.
